    With its 1,565 m of altitude, Monte Pizzoc is one of the highest points of the Treviso Pre-Alps. The oronym Pizzòc derives from "pits-òc" or "small tip". On its top is the current Piazza della Pace. Inaugurated in 2006, it is the highest "square" in Europe. The area still shows the marks left by the calcium carbonate quarry that was disused before the 1950s. Here, starting from 1962, during the Cold War period, a NATO radar base was housed directly connected to the Pian Cansiglio missile base. Operationally closed in July 1977, it was definitively abandoned on August 21, 1979.

    From its summit, on clear days, you can enjoy an exceptional and vast panorama that goes from the Euganean Hills to the Venetian Lagoon to the Gulf of Trieste. To the north, on the other hand, the Cavallo group and the Alpago mountains stand out. To the west, the Cesen - Col Visentin ridge, the Vallata and the Revine lakes. Just below the summit is the Città di Vittorio Veneto Refuge, known as Baracón, as it housed the quarry workers; during the Second World War it was also the seat of the command of the Cairoli Brothers Partisan Brigade.

    In the popular belief, the mountain also acts as a meteorological indicator:
    - "Se l'à la zhintùra, no'l dùra" or "If it shows the belt of clouds, the good weather does not last";
    - "If l’à’ l penàzh, pióva a s’cìh e s’ciàch "or" If it has a plume, rain in pans ";
    - "If l’à’ l capèl, al will bèl "or" If he has a hat, it will be beautiful ".

      If the sky is clear, you can enjoy a wonderful view from here. For the lazy, you can drive to the Vittorio Veneto refuge.
